Description

As fans around the world tune in watch the World Cup in Brazil, a few fans out of this world will be watching, too. Members of the International Space Station Expedition 40 crew will be cheering on their teams from some 400 kilometres above Earth. In this picture captured by one of the crew, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo are seen at night as the ISS orbits the Earth.

Sao Paulo is the farthest cluster of lights on the right side and Rio de Janeiro is closer to the middle of the picture. There are three World Cup 2014 stadium cities in one picture: Arena de Sao Paulo, Estadio Mineirao (Belo Horizonte), and Estadio Do Maracana (Rio de Janeiro).
